[@everyone]

As Raven walked back towards her compartment, now wearing her black robes, she felt the train come to a halt. Then she heard who she correctly guessed to be the train conductor say over the intercom,[color=8882be]" We have arrived, can all students please step off the Hogwarts Express, first years first. All of your belongings will be taken to your dormitories for you. May the prefects please take the second and above years to the carriages after the first years have been led away. Thank you."[/color]

As soon as she heard this she jogged to the closest exit, a female prefect was already holding the door open, and went outside where she saw some other first years had already gotten off the train as well. When she had gotten to the front of the group of first years she saw a huge man with a grey beard and long hair, he looked like a giant compared to the young children around him. He told the crowd,[color=8882be]" Hello first years, I am Rubeus Hagrid, Groundskeeper and Keeper of the Keys are Hogwarts. Now please follow me everyone,"[/color] in his cheery but gruff voice as he led them all away from the train.

Once the first years had left the prefect that had held the door open for Raven, her name was Lillian, and the other prefects got off the train. When Lillian was outside she called out to the other students,[color=8882be]" Can all students please follow their house prefects to the carriages in an orderly manner. I have talked to our deputy headmistress and she has said that the house that does this the best gets to start off the school year with an extra ten points so be on your best behaviour."[/color] With this all of the students quietened down and went into neat lines.

As the prefects led them off her fellow Ravenclaw prefect whispered to her,[color=8882be]" Is one house really going to get ten points for this?"[/color]

[color=8882be]"Of course not, but don't tell them that,"[/color] Lillian whispered back happily.
